@roughly 87500 miles p0302 error with check engine light and slight vibration felt. Replaced all plugs + all coils no effect. additional research found known flaw in earlier years ref: service bulletin and extended warranty (X56) - 3.6L Left Cylinder Head - Select 2011 -2013 Vehicle. Called car manufacturer they referred to dealer saying warranty not extended for 15 year. Dealer states still known issue but cant help roughly 3800 out of pocket to fix. or we can contact FCA to beg them to fix. FCA referred back to dealer. You are my next step.
In 2/2021 After having dealership replace thermostat and front brakes/rotors, I got my car back and then the same day the ABS, Traction control and ABS lights were on the dash, so I returned to dealership, resulting in full corrosion on the wiring harness repair from water leakage and anti lock brake module replacement. Now in late Sept (less than 3000 miles later) the ABS, traction control and Service AWD light on the dash AGAIN and dealership said it niw needs ABS sensor replaced, the module had water in the ABS module. This is a safety issue with disables ABS and ESC disabled. This appears to be related to other similar complaints and Chrysler recall R61 for 2015 Dodge Journeys, but not showing up for my VIN.
While driving the steering wheel locked up and the brakes stopped working, the engine was still running. Breaks were extremely hard to press and was not able to turn the steering wheel at all. Was able to coast to a stop and place the car in park. Once I stopped I placed the car in park, turned off the car and restarted it and worked fine.
I noticed that my heater hose looked like it had some crusted coolant around the Tee joint. I looked closer and realized that the Tee joint appeared to be cracked on both bottom left and right side of the joint. I literally just grabbed it and it fell apart. I started to do my research and this happend to be a common problem that owners of dodge journeys are having because the factory Tee joint is made of plastic and is not made to with stand the heat. I went to an Auto Parts store and was informed that this part has not been released for aftermarket sale. So I called the dodge dealership and was told that I can not just buy the Tee joint. I have to buy the entire assembly with is around $200. I researched how much it would cost for part and labor if I didn't change it my self and that would cost $600. This is a Factory issuse so it should not be on the buyer's to have to change this part. It is a safety issuse because I have read that when people have had this issue while driving in the past that the car started overheating out of nowhere and clouds of white smoke poured out of the engine. This could obstruct the drivers view and cause a crash.
Oil filter adapter housing is leaking. We have been told by dealership, this is a nationwide issue and the part is on back order for up to 4 months or longer. And was told by dealership vehicle cannot be driven.

Vehicle keeps stalling out while driving in motion...lights that have been on since I purchased the car from auto liquidators ABS light, engine light and another light I don't know how to explain. Sometimes it restarts sometimes it doesn't.
Had not started the vehicle for 1 week. With fob in hand I opened the door. With door open I put my foot on the brake (it did not compress), then pushed the start button. The dash flashed on and off saying fob not detected. Tried pushing fob, tried starting car again. Then a loud clicking began at the front of the vehicle in the motor area. The dash flashing stopped and all screens were black. No power to vehicle at all, door locks did not work. Opened hood to see where clicking was coming from, but could not detect. Tried remote start and traditional start as well. Nothing works. Engine clicking finally stopped after about 10-15 minutes. Car has to be opened with the key and will still not start.
Head on collision at a traffic light. I was making a left turn it was raining and the other car was going straight. He took the light on red and we both hit head on.

Still paying for a car that doesn't work. Pls if U can help me resolve this it will be a big help. I still fill pain in my neck from the accident. I don't want to take legal actions I just want what is right. Thank you
In the past 3 years, we have had to fix different cylinder misfires in the same engine. The first was done in 2017, the second July 2020, and we had the third misfire error code November 2020. This has been communicated to Dodge, but not sure if a recall should be made for this, or if other have experienced the same. The most recent incident happened while driving. The engine began to stutter, thankfully I was able to make it home where as soon as I drove into the driveway it shut down.
My 2015 Dodge Journey fwd started making a whining noise out of nowhere and then all of a sudden would not go over 35 mph. I tried to move in my driveway and its stuck in 1st gear. I am too scared to drive it and it is my only means of transportation. Is there a recall on it?
While driving I heard a strange engine noise while accelerating, then the crankshaft, the serpentine belt came off, the steering wheel came rigid or stiff before the battery warning sign goes on with a big oil leak, the car then stopped.
The contact owns a 2015 Dodge Journey. The contact stated that she had taken her vehicle in to the dealer hawk Chrysler Dodge Jeep Ram (7911 roosevelt rd, forest park, il 60130, (708) 405-9044) for an unknown recall repair regarding the catalytic converter. The recall repair was performed however, caused a failure of one of the pistons. The contact stated that the piston rod punctured the cylinder wall causing an engine oil leak. The vehicle was towed back to the dealer and the contact was quoted a repair cost of $8,000. The vehicle was not repaired. The manufacturer had not been contacted. The VIN was not available. The failure mileage was 114,000.
While driving on the express way I changed lanes and suddenly the car jerked and started going faster, the check engine light started beeping, I put my foot on the brake but the car did'nt slow down fast enough, soon as I looked up I crashed on my driver side, no air bags came out...I drove the car hm, the sensor started beeping low key battery..I changed out the key battery and two days later the car start saying no key detected, I then called a locksmith, they had me buy a new key fob to reprogram..it didn't work, there is something very much electrical going on with this vehicle.
I own a 2015 Dodge Journey 63000 miles. When the vehicle was in motion on a major street traveling 49mph the car jerked, deaccelerated abruptly and the steering wheel became tight. It did not slow down it deaccelerated. There was no warning or code on prior to this happening. I was lucky there was not anyone behind me nor on a highway. Took it to the dealer and they said it was "failed crank position sensor." It had a code of P0339. We paid dealer to fix it - obviously. I noticed there is a recall for crankshaft position sensor on 2016 Dodge Journey - I beg that you recall cankshaft position sensor for Dodge Journey 2015.
My wife's car has stalled several times while running in traffic at 55 mph and above. She easily could have been involved in a collision. Car has been to dealer 4 times for repair, but still has same problem. Car has under 60K miles.
P0339 crank shaft position sensor intermitted my engine completely lost power. This is very dangerous. This is a recall on this crank shaft on 2012-2016 models for Dodge Journey. I was driving on a residential street going 35 mph and my car stalled and the engine lost complete power.
